DESIGN FOR TORSION AND SHEAR IN PRESTRESSED CONCRETE FLEXURAL MEMBERS

The design method discussed in this paper for the torsion and shear design of prestressed and non-prestressed concrete flexural members applies to rectangular, box and flanged sections such as L-beams. The paper also forms the basis for the shear and torsion provisions in the Sixth Edition of the PCI Design Handbook, and thus serves as an important background reference. To illustrate the application of the design method, a fully worked numerical example is included.
